Kobe Bryant vs. Alec Burks, Rookie Season Stats Comparison

"Burks" and "Bryant" both start with the letter B. I'm pretty sure they're career stats will be pretty similar based on this hidden stat. We should only draft players who's last names start with the letter B. Then we can always compair them to Kobe. !!!!!!!!!!!!! I solved all of our problems.
 
Nice comparison. Burks will be one of the best in the league in his position. However, Kobe's coach is always blamed for not foreseing his abilities from the rookie season and not giving him the minutes. I don't think Alec is treated the same way. He'll be a great player though. Best 12th pick a team can get from the lockout draft.
 
I see the time distribution for Hayward/Burks/Williams/Foye being a major problem. Let's say Burks sees no time at point guard...

Hayward (30), Williams (26), Burks (24), Foye (16)...what's more likely is that Burks and Foye see about 20 each...sound about right?

He gave you 35 names above Alec in the last five years and a butt load more within 10%. How many new players actually make the NBA each year? Maybe 35??? So this list of 60+ names is 1/3 of all new players. Keep up the hardass/****ty post routine.

He ain't the real Nerd, and he's making it quite obvious.

The only way I would want this minutes thing to go down is to have Foye play backup PG, because Watson sucks.

I like Burks, but I still think there are a lot of players that would look good when compared to Kobe in a similar fashion, and that is the only point I was trying to make.

Jazz legend Othyus Jeffers is on that list as well
 
Players don't always develop as we think they will. I see a lot of potential in Burks and that's good enough for me now. Comparing him to Kobe may be a bit early but i don't see why not if he works hard.

Yeah I mean, it's completely legitimate to compare Burks to one of the best players of all time. Lets be honest here, Kobe is a douche but he's one of the greatest of all time. Burks will never be as good as him.

now go exclude anybody who didn't play enough minutes to qualify for any statistical ranking... that's half his list. unless you really want thomas gardner in the comparison. we're talking about rookies who actually played a role on their teams, not rookies who had an efficient 100 minutes one april while their team was tanking.
